Melissa Raub is a Los Angeles based non-union (SAG-AFTRA eligible) voice actor. Born in Scranton, PA, Melissa found her voice through comedy, acting, singing, and any form of performing...yes, even clowning!
While living in Philadelphia, and attending the University of the Arts for theatre performance, she fell into the position of voicing 5 distinct characters in a friend's animation project and something *clicked* while she was in the booth. She never looked back! She graduated in 2014 with a BFA in theatre arts and a minor in Voice and Speech, which has led to an enriching voice over career that is growing every day.
Since then, Melissa has moved to Studio City, Los Angeles, and has lent her voice to innocent puppies, evil villains, audiobooks, real estate spots, election ads, podcast intros, Spotify and Youtube commercials, medical industrials, and more. Melissa's excited to bring your script to life in her home studio (specs below) or at your preferred recording studio in LA or Philadelphia.

My biggest achievement in VO was doing 500 real estate spots for Homes.com
I've had many spotify commercials, youtube ads, audiobooks. I did a podcast for kids where I voiced over 7 different puppies ("Space Pugs")
I've been the voice of explainer videos, industrials, homeland security clearance training, and more! I prefer character work but I love that I can jump in and give life to any script.
